Raw Strawberry Twizzlers
Ingredients:
2 cups date paste
¼ cup beetroot juice
1 teaspoon strawberry extract or 1.2 oz (34 g) bag of freeze-dried strawberries, powdered
To Make:
1. To create beet juice, wash the beetroots well and rough-chop into sizes that will fit in the juicer chute. Juice. If you don’t have a juicer you can rough-chop some beetroots and blend them with a touch of water in a high-powered blender. Then place in a mesh/nut bag and squeeze the juice from the bag. A little labour intensive, but it can be done.
2. In the food processor, fitted with the “S” blade, process the date paste, beet juice and strawberry extract or freeze-dried strawberries until everything is well integrated.
3. Place the batter in a piping bag fitted with a plain star tip. Mine was about 1/4″ (6 mm) in diameter.
4. Pipe the batter onto a Teflex sheet (could use baking or parchment paper), from one edge to the other. Use steady pressure to create a straight line.
5. Dehydrate at 45 degrees C (115 degrees F) for 24 hours (you could also pop it into the oven on a low heat). Allow to cool before storing in airtight container.
Can I make these in an instant pot like dehydrator? What would the temp/time be?
Hi Amanda
I have never actually used an instant pot before, but if it has a dehydrator function I don’t see why not.
